When to use articlesHi,
In the translated text above, these terms all get the articles, however, in the test, they all don't.
i.e.:la astronomía, y en las matemáticas. También, trabajaron en la agricultura y el comercio"
in the test, it corrected me, so I'm a bit confused:
Could you please let me know when you can/cannot use the article "le,la,las" etc in front of these:
The test examples:
Kwizbot Los aztecas destacaron en astronomía,
You Los aztecas destacan en la astronomía,
You could also say: Los aztecas destacaron en la astronomía,
Kwizbot También, trabajaron en la agricultura
You También, trabajaron en agricultura
[note: here I dropped the article and it didn't correct me]
Well done! and in mathematics.
Your answer matched mine: y en matemáticas.
Thank you for your help and have a great day!

Thank you so much!
Una pared de mi habitacion es rosa. I thought that walls and rosas had to agree in number? Adjective agrees with the noun in number?? I am new at this, so sorry if it sounds very elementary.
Thank you.
In the quiz question
He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿ quieres ver _____ ?
The answer was the singular alguna, and I only knew this from the hint. It seems like the person who was offering to share the photos was being stingy only allowing 1 or 2 photos to share. Would it be wrong if I had a stack of 20 photos to say, Quieres ver algunas? It seems to be a more generous approach to allow another person to see more than just a select 1 or 2 photos.

The reading exercise translates estadounidense as North American. Is this usage more common in Spain? I thought estadounidense meant American, and norteamericano = North American.
Why lo de que? Maria is a noun. Why isn't it lo de?
Hola Inma,
"Lo de que las películas de acción son muy emocionantes"
would it also de correct to use sean instead, given the informacion already known?
(As you can see, i'm still strangling with the subjunctive.)
